  it's easy to begin using &brandFullName;.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This information applies to &brandFullName; for Windows and
  Mac OS.</p>

<h2 id="about_your_ie_settings">About Your IE Favorites and Settings</h2>

<p>When you first install &brandShortName;, it will import your existing
  Internet Explorer settings, including your Favorites, cookies, stored
  passwords, and a variety of other data.  This saves you time customizing
  &brandShortName; to fit your needs.</p>

<h2 id="firebirds_features">&brandShortName;'s Features</h2>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Tabbed Browsing</strong>: Instead of opening a separate browser
    window for each site you want to visit, you can open multiple sites within
    the same window and tab between them. You can also set a group of tabs as
    your home page.  For more information see <a
    href="tabbed_browsing.xhtml">Tabbed Browsing</a>.</li>
  <li><strong>Pop-up Window Controls</strong>: Lets you allow or suppress both
    popup and popunder windows.</li>
  <li><strong>Cookie Manager</strong>: Lets you change what &brandShortName; will
    do when accepting cookies.</li>
  <li><strong>Download Manager</strong>: Organizes your downloads by storing
    them in a single window to minimize clutter.  You have full access to
    download statistics without using unnecessary multiple windows for each
    download.</li>
  <li><strong>Image Manager</strong>: Enables you to disable images from certain
    web sites or disable them altogether. This is useful if you wish to decrease
    the amount of time it takes for web sites to load.</li>
</ul>

<h2 id="keyboard_shortcuts">Keyboard Shortcuts</h2>
<p>You will notice that Microsoft Internet Explorer and &brandShortName; share many of
  the same shortcut keys. For a full list of shortcut keys, see the
  <a href="shortcuts.xhtml">List of &brandShortName; Keyboard Shortcuts</a>.</p>
